Jalen didn't start either.

Good catch, Dan. I wonder if Hewitt thinks Jenkins and Holloway are better coming off the bench or maybe it was about matchups or maybe they were being disciplined or, oh crap, who knows what the hell he's thinking.

The changs obviously didn't help us offensively, but it looks like it might have helped defensively. Lets hope they keep it up in the 2nd half.

We got Asian twins on the team? When did this happen?

..paraphrase of UNI commentator "George Mason has a lot of size, a lot of athleticism, they just don't have any skill players, they can't hit shots consistently."

Pretty much spot on.

Real analysts would have talked about coaching....lol

Only 4 assists so far, not one of which is by a player in our starting lineup (not even the Chang brothers).

UNI, meanwhile, has 15 assists and leads by 12. Coincidence? I think not.

I'd argue it is coaching...this is the team the coach has recruited. Bunch of tall athletic guys - but where are the point guards? Where are the shooters?

Plenty of turnovers tho!

 

[JimP]

Rohland's doing a good job highlighting the difference between us and them. Them...balanced scoring and a lot of assists. Us...not so much.

 

[DeepValue]

Is Hewitt really in love with timeouts after a made basket? It seems that way.

 

[DeepValue]

Things to do that are better than watching the Redskins tomorrow.

Watching the NCAA Women's soccer final
Watching the MLS final
Hanging Christmas lights
Reviewing work email
Cleaning out my closet
Taking a nap
Raking leaves
